Welcome to Classrooms For the Future Wiki at Farrell High School
I Encourage all Farrell CFF teachers to edit this page.
Please add content such as podcasts, training videos, resource links, blogs, RSS Feeds, Surveys, Slide-Shows, Quizes, Promethean Board lessons or start a discussion on a particular topic. The discussion tab on this page can be accessed and edited by anyone visiting the page, so you may get a response from another CFF teacher outside the district.
Wiki
noun. A type of collaborative on-line software that allows readers to add content on a subject, which can also be edited by others. For example: **Wikipedia**.
The major difference between a blog and a wiki is that a blog is more directly under the control of the owner(s) and the primary objective of a blog is for the owner(s) to express themselves to their target audience. A wiki on the other hand is about collaboration (in a general sense) rather than expressing views. Wiki definition included as many people have asked us to describe the difference between a blog and a wiki.
This is a video explaining Google Docs. Highly useful in the classroom because it allows each student to add content without creating a copy every time a change is made. All of the documents exsists online. Watch the video and I'm sure you'll understand.
